Yamaha FZ, Saluto, and Cygnus Ray Dark Night edition

India Yamaha Motor has introduced a Dark Night variant of motorcycles and scooter. This includes a Dark Night FZ-S FI, Saluto RX and Cygnus Ray ZR disc brake variant. The combination brings together Matt black finish in chrome design for lustre, and in general introduces an overall new external appearance.

10 days earlier, Yamaha launched the touring-friendly Fazer 25, and addition to the FZ Series. New Fazer 25 features a newly designed air-cooled, 249 cc, 4-stroke, SOHC, 2-valve, single-cylinder, fuel-injected engine on a lightweight frame, and targets buyers in their 20s and early 30s. Yamaha Fazer 25 will be on sale from September 2017, and is available in two colour schemes – Soulful Cyan and Rhythmic Red. Yamaha has not added ABS as a standard or optional feature, and is likely to wait until 2019 to bring on ABs as standard at which time it will be mandatory for Indian two-wheelers.

And while the company strives to make available a wide range of variants for its existing product offering, they’re mum on the launch of the much awaited Yamaha R15 V3. For 2017, Yamaha India aims sales of 900,000 units owing to scooter segment growth, through scooter sales increase within overall company sales with the upcoming festival season prepped to play a big role.
